I have collected vinyl for decades. I tell people it is my pension, and the best sounding pension anyone could ever have (all true). 🥰
Now, I’m at the age where I begin to cash in that pension.
Hence my little record store on Discogs: www.discogs.com/seller/leggo...

Hard to believe now, but once upon a time I did this for a living.
Not only is that me riding that Beemer for the cover shot - but I also edited the entire magazine and wrote many of the tests and features in it.
They were very special times (before #AI) ❤️

Saturday Night Jamboree on the Dub Irator label.
Wayne Jarrett sings the A side, and someone called 'Silver Fox' toasts on the flip ahead of the dub finale.
It's a definitive example of how perfect the 12 inch 45 rpm format is for reggae music.

I had an R65LS for many years. Originally owned by my kid brother, I got it with about 20k miles on it. I used it for despatch riding, raising the mileage to 185,000.
I rode it in all seasons through sunshine, rain,
Storms and snow.
Reliable, fun and much missed.

Keith Poppin is a marvellous #Jamaican singer, but may be missing from some #reggae vinyl collections.
I have three Keith Poppin LPs, including this one ‘Pop Inn’. It’s finest roots reggae, so don’t be fooled by the title.
‘Envious’ and ‘More of Keith’, the other two LPs, are both superb.

My first motorcycle, as opposed to moped. In this exact colour. Bought just after my 17th birthday. I wanted an RD250 but my dad forced me to buy his mate’s CB200 because ‘a Honda is more reliable’. It wasn’t, far from it. I even had to pass my test with it stubbornly refusing to select first gear 😡

Timeless styling. Doesn’t look in the least bit dated 50 years later.

Hot dog utilises the Victorian version of air conditioning (aka Minton Tiles), post park run on a very warm English morning.

There might be some better live albums than ‘Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin’ - but I doubt there’s any with as much atmosphere.
I’ve loved this recording since my mum first played it to me back in 1969.
One of the best things she ever gave me was an appreciation for great music.

Over the last 24 hours I’ve begun to suspect that there’s a organised and concerted campaign being carried out on BlueSky to ensure that Farage and Reform have no opposition in the next British General Election. Fartrage is possibly behind it, but I suspect Putin is his partner-in-crime here.

You’re probably not interested in photos of my dog Stevie (girl). But here’s some anyway.

Exactly. They are not getting a budget greater than the most countries spend on their armies just to bully immigrants. This is merely rehearsal for when they are called upon to oppress anyone in America who opposes GOP. They will enforce the cancellation of USA’s democratic elections.

Many Americans refused to vote for the Democrats because they were perceived as supporting genocide.
Q: And how did that work out for them?
A: Exactly how it will work out for us if we make the same mistake - except it will get us Faraged instead of Trumped.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.
The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.
Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Nothing is worse than being hired to bring positive change at a place that doesn’t want to change. It’s frustrating and depressing. I’ve only been here 4 months and I’m afraid it’s already time to go.

Ken Boothe & Lloyd Charmers LP Everything I Own. The Jamaican mix.
No strings on this. Trojan added them for the UK release. Boothe viewed the overdubs as a sign of Trojan’s faith in him.
Faith well placed - in 1974 the title track reached number 1 in the UK charts.
